Bisping is such a homer. Put any UK fighter in the discussion and he just starts gushing.

I've never seen the word homer used like that! 😂 Totally true. Bisping almost had an orgasm when Tom won. He would do a shoey from Aspinall's cup if Tom let him.

The goat can't hold a candle to someone that has besten no one of note basically?

Aspinall looks very promising but come on

Din Thomas was saying the same sorts of thing postfight. It was wild.

I don't understand everybody fawning over Aspinall as if he's already champ.

We have no idea if the guy has any gas tank at all. He hasn't actually fought a real wrestler yet.

I like Tom and I would pick him over Jones but he was getting outstruck in the Blaydes fight and he has a bad habit of leaving his chin up.
